This lovely map of the province of Friesland shows the county divisions, fortified cities, small settlements, and roads, as well as lakes and rivers. The Frisian islands of Ameland, Terschelling and Vlieland form the separation of the Waddenzee and the North Sea. In the lower left is a decorative title cartouche with the Frisian shield flanked by agricultural tools. A nice compass rose, a legend, and a scale of miles with surveyors and horses complete the composition. French text on verso, published between 1643-50.
